Matthias McDonnell Bodkin (1850–1933) was born in County Galway, Ireland, the second son of a doctor. Over the course of a long career he was a journalist, newspaper editor, barrister (QC during the reign of Victoria), county court Judge (for County Clare) and, for a brief period (1892–95), a Member of Parliament for North Roscommon, sitting in the House of Commons as an Irish Nationalist during Gladstone's fourth and final term as prime minister. Somehow alongside all this he managed to find time to write fiction, which he produced quite prolifically from the 1890s through to the late 1920s.
In this capacity he created two popular "rivals of Sherlock Holmes" in the 1890s: Paul Beck, "the rule of thumb detective", and Dora Myrl, "the lady detective". He subsequently had the ingenious idea of having them meet and work together, get married and produce a son (Paul Beck junior) who became a detective in his own right, appearing in stories from 1911 onwards. The character of Dora is notable as not only a relatively rare (for the time) female fictional detective, but also one with impressive academic accomplishments: a Cambridge wrangler, trained in medicine, who worked as a journalist, amongst other things, before becoming intrigued by crime and deciding to set up as as consulting detective.
'How He Cut His Stick' was one of the first stories to feature Dora Myrl, and was published in book form as part of a collection of Bodkin's stories entitled 'Dora Myrl, the Lady Detective' in 1900.
